Los Angeles citizens chasing ICE thugs I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of this. People are fed up.

Said no one in Vancouver City Council: let's do bike lanes for FIFA.

Crazy numbers. Yeah, someone who moved to Vancouver from LA was saying how shocked they were about how good the water was, that tapwater for pets, even, would cause hair loss in LA, which sounds insane to be, but these numbers, well, maybe? Anyhow. Drink BC water. It's yum. No filter needed.

It *should* be hard for opponents of congestion pricing to argue against the growing evidence. But I’ve learned to not underestimate the durability of “won’t work here, whaddabout federal money, it’s regressive (it’s not)” and so on

That congestion pricing is working -- like, really really working! -- is important for the larger effort to restore faith in govt. Take big swings, get big results that people can actually feel. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/o...

Vancouver, when? Hahahahahahaha, yes, I know. @ptfry.bsky.social @wazaroff.bsky.social any thoughts about integrating this into your platform?

apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers

Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities

The chaos unfolding in Asia isn’t really registering in America. People here are tuning it out and disassociating. The damage that America may be doing to 3 Billion people in Eurasia isn’t something people want to dwell on. A new season of Love Island is starting.

In the gentlest terms possible, fuck this into oblivion.

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Less than half a single day of the VPD's budget

In BC the only consequence is $1,150 in fines when you kill a human being with the vehicle that you have deliberately modified to be even more of a killing machine than it already inherently is. Outrageous. #BCPoli globalnews.ca/news/1174246...

Jesus god almighty you’d think people would get tired of spending ten years saying the fascists can’t do this or do that and then watching them do exactly what they claimed they couldn’t.

Financial markets are 'post-truth' media technologies and always have been. Keynes, Hayek, Lyotard, Mirowski etc etc etc have always known this. The rarity now is that their logic has penetrated to the heart of a very powerful modern government.

One ticket to The Ratio, please

Imagine a mayor in YOUR city choosing this as his first message to voters after winning a decisive election victory. Well done, @egregoire.bsky.social, well done. A great start. #Paris

Baseball vampire

despite being concentrated in ameria’s largest cities, america’s media is terminally car-brained

What is Emmanuel Grégoire, the new Paris mayor, planning for the city over his new term in office? —60,000 new social housing units —15 express bus routes —Completion of city's full bike network —Transformation of ring highway into a boulevard —1000 new pedestrian streets —300 new hectares of parks

I’ve been resistant to calling Americans/developed world more broadly politicans/voters “decadent”, but like if you keep knocking loadbearing pillars out of your economy for aesthetic reasons because you don’t care about the consequences - then there really isn’t any other word to use for it

I'm losing it at this delivery robot getting absolutely smoked by the Brightline train in Florida 🤖🚅

Smart people (aka me) have been saying this - electric and autonomous vehicles will bring our cities to a standstill without road pricing. When you lower the marginal cost of consuming something, consumption will go up.

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

I disagree. Never be surprised. Always be shocked. That’s how we retain our humanity and our drive to fight back.

These images are retired from the site and many have been used to train AI, but humans are still the best at detecting complex patterns. @galaxyzoo.org is still very active and we are only 6% of the way through JWST images of the COSMOS field! 🔭🧪

Me 1hr into most social events

Holy shit that’s so sad

Each word of this headline had me turning my head a different way

“Bike lanes that greatly reduced crashes on National Mall set for removal” 10/10 hed, no notes. #bikedc

Fascism is rising in Silicon Valley elite circles -UK head of Palantir got the job partly by being descended from one of England's most famous Nazis -Marc Andreesen hired Daniel Penny as a partner at Andreesen Horowitz explicitly because he strangled a black man to death

cries in Vancouver

Maybe @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social @davidebybc.bsky.social just don't like being in government and are actively trying to get themselves demoted to Opposition. #BCPoli

Like 20mins of a car alarm going off. But if I rightly took say an axe to that car somehow I’d be the bad guy

Kill the homeowner grant, fund transit. Kill the homeowner grant, fund transit. Kill the homeowner grant, fund transit. Kill the homeowner grant, fund transit.

We're glad to hear no one was hurt in this morning's crash at Hornby and Nelson...but we are once again requesting bollards to protect this very busy pedestrian area

Had the misfortune of biking through Quebec and 2nd today from the seawall. The wayfinding is incredibly confusing and I ended up riding on sidewalks to get through. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social can do a good job at this but that one is a mess.
